In 2021, Indians spent around 50 percent of their total health spending as out-of-pocket expenditure. This was at 74 percent in fiscal year 2001, showing a gradual decrease in the share of healthcare expenses that people pay directly to the providers. However, India ranked as one of the poorest in terms of this indicator and common people incurred heavy expenses due to health care.
